I have 3 presents to buy (the fourth is bought and remains secret in the unlikely chance my little sis is reading this from her new home in Vietnam – My second Christmas EVER without her!)

I have zero ideas. I refuse to buy junk, I refuse to buy presents for the sake of buying presents and this year above every other, I want to get them all something that shows how much they mean to me and how grateful I am that through some trick of fate I was landed in this family.

Dad, Sarah, Mum, Brooke and Me (Brooke will hate me for this photo)

Family member 1 – Older sister

25 year old female who seems to have an almost identical wardrobe to me these days (we like the same stuff, I’m sure I find it all first). She also has a massive mortgage and a dislike of my usual present buying philosophy (i.e I was thinking a worm farm this year which would go down like a tonne of bricks)

Family member 2 – Father

Seriously, who would have one? Can’t fathers be exempt from present buying? What do you buy them? He is an absolute authority on history, enjoys animated debates about politics and ethics and is currently enjoying golf. A self titled ‘bluey’ dad likes to differentiate himself from ‘greenies’ like me by his love of the ocean and everything in it.

Family member 3 – Mum

Only listed last because she is the least of my worries, my mum will love anything I get her. She wants a pillow, but when we went pillow testing, she only tested the cheapest pillows because she doesn’t want anyone spending money on her. She is a brilliant artist and her paintings flew off the walls when I hung them in the office, also a real estate mogul and interior decorator (though sadly not by trade).

Please help me. I’m totally stumped!!!
